A new Potatoes USA video shows how fresh potatoes are a favorite with shoppers and retailers alike, with more than 85% of American households buying fresh potatoes nearly 11 times per year. The video prompts retailers to stock potatoes because they “more than double the value” of shopping carts on average, thanks to consumers’ growing cart sizes with other staple products like milk, bread, and cheese. Other fun facts highlighted in the video include:
For kids, potatoes are the perfect springboard vegetable for introducing interest in produce and boosting vegetable consumption.
For adults, nutrient-dense potatoes offer unbeatable value in nutrition and satisfaction, delivering the energy, potassium and vitamin C needed for optimum performance.
Potatoes are typically purchased along with milk, bread, cheese and other staples that more than double the cart size — going from an average of $42 without potatoes to an average of $90 with potatoes.
